Parks drum up crowds -- of workers
Imagine the lines of applicants if companies suddenly offered thousands of jobs in a town with 12.8 percent unemployment, instead of Orlando's 2.8 percent jobless rate.

Combined, Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld are looking to hire more than 8,000 summer and permanent workers this month and next. Most of the jobs are entry-level positions paying $6.90 to $7.50 an hour.
